"The Moth Poem is Robin Blaser’s first book publication, which was preceded by a broadside printed by Auerhahn Press in 1963. I love this chapbook format which is perfect for the serial poem. Spicer’s work of the period published by Auerhahn and White Rabbit provide the model, along with Robert Duncan’s groundbreaking Medieval Scenes. ... The Moth Poem with the gray wrappers and the endpapers is a moth itself when opened to be read. The gray covers suggest the wings of the common gray moth and the front and back endpapers have illustrated moth wings on them. ... The work of Dante and the image of the moth are just two of the threads that hold this serial poem together. The Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso tie into the image of the moth at various points. ..."
